Honfleur

Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department 😋. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from Le Havre and very close to the exit of the Pont de Normandie.

It is especially known for its old port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted frequently by artists. Like all the towns here there have been many notable artists, including, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind. They all meet at La Ferme Saint Siméon, which is now a 5-star hotel, and create the "Saint Siméon gathering" contributing to the appearance of the Impressionist movement.

The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest wooden church in France.

It's a nice but very touristic place and I suggest you don't drink ANY coffee there (cappuccino 6.-).Читать далее
